I have been horribly sick. I have a brain injury on top of already being ill with a critical condition. I had to have emergency lung surgery and flatlined during the operation, which caused me to go brain dead. The hardest thing to do was waking up this way. I just wanted to give up. I have been really sick since; I can't breathe most of the time. I have to go to the ER three times a week, and I can't remember anything. The surgeon sent out a letter to my father stating I had less than a year to live. They're supposed to be getting me on emergency disability. They're setting up the appointment with the SS lung specialists to see if I have longer. Since I just got out of the hospital over my right lung, with less than a year, my little girl will make me a grandma in July. I'm so happy for her. She's such a beautiful, intelligent, best kid anyone could ask for. Our three boys are great too, intelligent and outgoing. We have a great family. My husband has his new job lined up and starts on the 1st of June. By the end of the month, we can make a rent payment if someone with an empty 3-bedroom would find the goodness in their heart to help.
